Abstract (en)

Brake forces are transitted to the friction discs (not shown) of a multi-disc brake by a thrust plate (11) via a two-part plunger (14,15). As known per se a frictional ring (21) movable between fixed abutments (18.20) limits retraction of the outer plunger part(14) relative to a fixed housing (13). <??>According to the invention load is transmitted between the plunger part (14,15) in all telescopic positions by a freely rotatable shank (41) biassed by a spring (27) so that its frusto-conical end (24) is maintained in contact with a surface (23) of the outer plunger part (14). Then shank (41) engages the inner plunger part (15) over screw threads (42) of high helix angle.
